Pros:

Location is superb to be very close to the tram station, Grand Bazaar and nearby shops, including a grocery store next door. It took about 10-20 min easy walk to Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque and the Topkapi Palace.

The staff is super friendly and helpful, and very accommodating of our needs. We booked the shuttle from and to the airport through the hotel, which worked out smoothly and nicely. We can pay for the shuttle fees upon checking-out.

The included breakfast selection is great, and the patio view is very nice.

We plan to stay here again next time.

Cons:

Nothing.

Geweldige ligging en geweldig personeel
Pros:

Het personeel is supervriendelijk en -behulpzaam en de locatie is top: Hagia Sophia, Topkapıpaleis en grote bazaar zijn op loopafstand. Als lopen lastig is: de tramhalte van T1 is op 50 meter afstand, en daarmee kun je de bezienswaardigheden ook bereiken. Reken echter niet op een zitplek.

Cons:

De kamer (101) was erg donker. Het ontbijt was, net zoals in ons andere hotel in Turkije, anders dan ik gewend ben: veel olijven, kazen en smeersels/dips.
